[0.11] Game loads first then tries to check for updates

Post by SHiRKiT »

The game should not need to load the sprites to check for updates, it should be done just after the game is launched.

Well, this is really a minor problem, and you can also check for updates from the about window manually.

Minor but on slow computers it can easily add quite a few minutes!

Always bugged me on the laptop, game splash screen would load, then load all the mods... sprites... etc...

5 minutes later, get to the main menu and Boom, "update available!", :evil: :evil:

install update, relaunch game... mods... sprites and wait 5 minutes again

Agree it's minor but if it's relatively simple to do the update check before you load all the game resources then it'd be great! :mrgreen:
